I have turned on all the virtualization support parameters in the bios.
Based on my research I have all the requirements, but still cannot setup hypervisor.
replying to my own post. after further research i learned the the '-' in the coreinfo data indicates that the feature is not supported. So now my question is...............do I need to get another machine that support virtualization? Or is there a way to upgrade this machine?
